Campers will have the opportunity to design and build beds, sow seeds, transplant starts, apply companion planting techniques, create healthy compost, learn about the wondrous world of worms, harvest crops, and create quick healthy foods fresh from the garden!
This exciting outdoor exploration-based camp teaches youth about growing natural whole foods, while connecting children to the wonders of nature. Children will be able to bring home fresh produce and plant starts, take field trips to local farms, create a “nature journal” to collect and press plants, build their own pizza box solar oven, make handmade paper, learn about bee keeping and worm composting, and also have the unique opportunity to get hands-on involvement growing food at a real, working farm. YouthGrow is run through Northwest Youth Corps and takes place at their farm in Eugene, Oregon. The curriculum is designed to combine crafts, games and lessons together for a complete and sustainable educational experience!
Week long camp sessions begin in June and run through the end of August.
